Summary: Roads to Love and Happiness
Review: Being married 72 years and reading the various comments of the persons reasoning their longevity of marriage I concluded the most important beginning was the honesty of the individuals and reason for making a commitment. Attractions to each other had include,love, sharing, devotion and above all no thoughts of "sampling" It was doing one for another and enjoying the joys in so doing. .

Summary: A Pearl of a book - to be treasured
Review: I very much enjoyed reading Everlasting Matrimony - as did my husband. We have just celebrated our 20th anniversary and I am hoping that one day we could add our own page to this book. It is inspiring to read about couples who have stayed together - and what they feel it was that helped them to make it to such a significant landmark. We too often read about divorce and couples who split up. It was wonderful to read about the success stories - couples who stay together and literally share their lives. This is a book that makes you happy just to read it, and to know that staying married today is not an impossible dream but a reality.

Summary: A Real Live Reviewer!!
Review: My wife and I were fortunate in having been selected to participate in this wonderful book.

We are now into our 61st year of a happy marriage and would hope young folks reading this book would take lessons from the "pros" that have made it together for 50 years.

The book is so well organized and exciting...it could be a must read for a psychology class by teaching....always have the last word...."yes dear"

Summary: Finally a book that has real role models for a long marriage
Review: This book is amazing and interesting as it has pictures from 50 years ago and today. Each couple explains in his and her own words how they stayed married for more than 50 years. This is not some stuffy book about marriage counseling theory. These couples lived it! I also found very funny and intriguing the stories of how these couples met. This book is a MUST read for any currently married couples or couples about to get married. What a great gift for anniversaries, engagements and weddings! I could not find a gift for my wife of 15 years, since she had everything, so I bought her this book and she just loved it!!

Summary: Enduring wisdom
Review: What I like best about this book is that the author has allowed the couples' voices to come through directly. They're different; some are eloquent, some less so; some are humorous, others quite serious. There's something wonderful about two people summarizing the essence of a life together. The book is also graphically elegant, and pleasing to the hand, and the photograph pairs are fascinating.
